With the support
and legal advice of FoE and other green groups, two green
activists filed judicial review to challenge the decision made by
Environmental Protection Department for granting the approval to
the 3rd runway project’s environmental assessment report. The
report failed to address the air and noise pollution problem
associated with airspace issue, and the absence of mitigation
measures for the habitat damage of Chinese white dolphin during
construction period. These are viewed as not complying with the
Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance.

On 10 February, FoE
celebrated with 54 organisations on their achievements in the 2014 Take a “Brake” Low Carbon
Action - Corporate Green Driving Award Scheme. Since its inception in 2010, the Scheme has
achieved an accumulated reduction of 84,000 litres of fuel per
month, and has taught 204,000 employees about green driving
practices and green living attitude. Let’s act together to help

Earth Partners -
Woodland Conservation Day
|
|
|
|
Woodland
Conservation Day at Ma On Shan Country Park was organised for
FoE’s Earth Partners on 31 January. Earth Partners took care of the
planted seedlings (such as weeding and pruning) to increase their
survival rate, help them grow faster and stronger to become
mature trees.

Together with a
group of individuals and organisations concerned about the 3rd
runway project, FoE has established the People’s Aviation Watch
(PAW). We aim to solicit views from the public, to critically
review the Airport Authority Hong Kong’s proposals and to propose
alternatives. We urge the Government to make its decision for the
best interest of the public, to ensure that public money is spent
properly and wisely, and the marine ecology as well as air
quality are properly protected.
